Drummond is just a rich white spoiled brat who lives in the most fortunate place in the world to catch live music. He's got everything he needs at his fingertips and is too lazy to get off his ass and do anything relevant. It's great to say that people "can focus on performing" but there's so many bands in so many places of the world and there's so many scenes that don't foster the development of good musicians and good performers. The bars want the popular bands who bring out their friends and drinking crowds so the they can make money off booze. Recorded music is only over for Londoners and New Yorkers who can't afford rent, nevermind a CD, but there's so many people worldwide who still find excitement in buying an LP or a CD, listening to it at home, on their way to their shitty job, Drummond needs to get his head out of his ass and leave England before he claims to speak with ANY authority.

If it wasn't for recorded music and only live performances, how would I know about all the bands I like? Am I supposed to move to the UK just to listen to the stuff that isn't interesting for other German listeners? Would I be stuck with lame local bands who think they can play indie rock?
